"Dirty Dancing Havana Nights"

Well... The story is about a girl that has to move to Cuba with her family in the 1950s for her last year of high school. Her parents used to be dancers, so she obviously had learned quite a bit from them, but it was the lame, structured stuff. So she meets this native Cuban that teaches her how to dance like the Cubanos... You can guess that they have a romance, etc., etc.. I won't get into the whole thing.

The only MAJOR problem I had with this movie was the ACTING. I mean, the girl was pretty, the guy was cute, they danced ok.. but the acting was terrible. The main character had the same tone of voice for every situation or mood she was in.

I also think that there could have been a LOT more dancing.

Oh yeah, who could forget, Patrick Swayze was in the movie too. He kind of had a random role.. I didn't understand. It seemed kind of like they had run out of ideas for where to place him in the cast and put him where they did for lack of creativity. Either it was the placing of his role or the way his character was written out. I couldn't tell.. but I knew something was off.
